With the current slide this is what the Jazz could be looking at:
DX
16- Trey Burke
20- BJ Young
NBADraft.net
16- Kelly Olynyk
20- Doug McDermott
Thoughts?
Played Lottery Mock Draft on Espn for the first time. The jazz aren't there (yet), but it was interesting to see where some of the players we talk about were coming in.
IN my version Toronto won and selected Marcus Smart #1--that would shock me. Mr. Porter would be gone #5.
You have to find a willing team to get move up. Nowadays it is difficult to find a team to do so.
Burke will be gone by 16
Moving up would be my top choice. Package our late-lotto and high-teens pick and move up to the #8-#10 range. Get an impact guy, if we think he's there. The NBA draft is about quality, not quantity.
Sidenote: I'm really excited to watch Xavier/Butler this weekend. I wonder if Semaj Christon will test the waters in this year's NBA draft. The kid can really play...
If we packaged our picks, what's the highest we could move up?
I don't think there's a limit, unless it's something I haven't read in the new CBA.

I imagine it would be easier to move up in a weak draft.
I think the talent from #8 - #18 this year is pretty even ... I wouldn't move up this year.
Unless I can get into top 5.

Who would you take at 5? Porter?
Well ESPN Lotto machine currently has:
McClemore
Smart
Noel
Porter
Shabazz
in that order. Depending on who's picking where, I think all those 5 guys are interchangeable at the moment. No consensus #1, the talent seems pretty flat at the top this year.
ESPN are retards. They are the worst source. That list is beyond terrible.
who ever mentioned leo wastermann i will rep. he is a nice prospect in the late second round. stash for a year or 2
Not getting a ton of hype, but y'all should check out Leo Westermann. Love his game.
